Question

I've got a project that won't open with VS2008, it's a Windows CE 5.X app - something with .net

I keep trying to open the project and it keeps saying it's not compatible with the installation. I thought it might have been because i'm using VS2008 Standard and not Pro, but I read that Standard supports Windows CE. I was told that it might be because i'm running .net 3.5, and that I need to be on .net 2.0; Does this mean I need to uninstall .net 3.5 from my PC in order for this to work? Or can I modify my environment?

Thanks

VS2008 Standard does not support Windows CE Development. Where did you read that it does? Here you can read it does not: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=727BCFB0-B575-47AB-9FD8-4EE067BB3A37&displaylang=en
